Remove the battery, the rams and the hard drive. And try to start it again and if does reinstall one part at a time to pinpoint where is the problem.

But it sound like motherboard failure.

Have you tried using an external monitor to see if any video is coming out that port?

If that is not available, then shine a strong flashlight on the screen. Do you see any "ghostly" image? If so, then the video signals are working but your backlight is not turning on.

Looks like a motherboard failure. Nothing i can think of could case this problem.

Unplug the computer, remove the drives, main battery, CMOS battery and RAM and leave out for a few minutes and flip the power switch a few times with no battery or AC power. Then plug back in and try turning on. Also, have you made sure the CPU board is seated firmly as well as the RAM?
